In the Inner West's climate, concrete typically takes about 7 days to cure to a point where it can handle foot traffic, and about 28 days to reach full strength. However, this can vary depending on the specific mix used, weather conditions, and the concrete's thickness. We'll provide specific curing instructions for your project to ensure the best results.

Frequently Asked Questions About Concreting in the Inner West
-
How long does concrete take to cure in the Inner West climate?
-
Do I need council approval for concreting work in the Inner West?
Council approval requirements vary depending on the scope of your concreting project. Generally, small-scale works like pathway repairs may not require approval, but larger projects such as new driveways often do. We're familiar with Inner West council regulations and can guide you through the approval process if necessary, handling all required documentation.
-
What's the best concrete finish for a driveway in the Inner West?
For Inner West driveways, we often recommend exposed aggregate or stamped concrete. Exposed aggregate offers excellent slip resistance and durability, while stamped concrete can mimic the look of pavers or natural stone, complementing various architectural styles. The best choice depends on your specific needs, budget, and the style of your property. We'll assess your situation and recommend the most suitable option.
-
How do you ensure proper drainage when concreting?
Proper drainage is crucial in the Inner West to prevent water pooling and potential damage. We ensure adequate drainage through careful site preparation, creating subtle slopes away from structures, and incorporating drainage channels where necessary. For areas prone to heavy runoff, we may recommend permeable concrete solutions. Our team will assess your property's specific drainage needs and incorporate appropriate measures into the concreting design.
-
How do I maintain my concrete surfaces in the Inner West climate?
Maintaining concrete in the Inner West involves regular cleaning to prevent mold and mildew growth, especially in shaded areas. We recommend sealing your concrete every 2-3 years to protect it from moisture and UV damage. For decorative concrete, avoid using harsh chemicals and opt for pH-neutral cleaners. We provide comprehensive care instructions tailored to your specific concrete finish and can offer ongoing maintenance services if desired.
